Students need an understanding of STEMand the reasons to pursue STEM careers; over 3,000 students have been exposed to STEMlessons in the past three years with Project STEP. Teachers of these students are involved in thisprocess as well, and 36 different teachers have participated in the STEP

Low reliability of the lifelong learner items (see Table 2)mitigates the impact of these findings, and further analysis is needed. Also, as a role “lifelonglearner” may be complicated in that it is an integrated role in professional careers while moreexplicit and separable as “student” in graduate school.Current and Future Role AlignmentThe analysis of the alignment questions also produced interesting results.

This within-group differentiation appears to be grounded in fairly routine experiencesas a member of an under-represented group in a STEM field. Ironically, despite the clear disempoweringimpact that these experiences can have, there is also some evidence that they may promote thedevelopment of alternative value structures and feelings of purpose related to STEM fields for membersof underrepresented groups. 15ReferencesAlexander, C.
